Jay Familglietti, NASA’s top water scientist, recently warned that California has only a year’s supply of water left in storage facilities and the backup groundwater is rapidly depleting. Despite this harrowing fact, California has no backup plan to address this crisis.
“California has no contingency plan for a persistent drought like this one (let alone a 20-plus-year mega-drought), except, apparently, staying in emergency mode and praying for rain,” stated Familglietti. “In short, we have no paddle to navigate this crisis.”
UPDATE: California Gov. Jerry Brown issues ineffectual, mandatory water restriction as one-third of our nation’s crops are threatened. See Page 3 for updates.

Yes, and a BIG part of that problem was failing to build additional water reservoirs these last twenty years or so.
Typical Democrat situation. All in without a back-up plan.
Califirnia’s Mexico anyway
The should do what Republicans do. Deny there is a problem, don’t allow anyone to call it a ‘drought’, then blame Obama.
That should work.
Build desalinization plants like other people who live in the desert.
At least the 3 inch snail darter minnows are safe.
Thats funny lol….. Whats also funny is how that idiot got his money by drilling for oil….. Where?…. Elk hills….. Where is that?…… California
From looking at all the comments from all walks of people. Guess all i can say for California is………. Nancy Pelosi’s an IDIOT and KARMA is a $#%&!@* isn’t it. Liberal dems better get YOUR priorities straight. Definitely no bailout for your rich state. Good luck!
Clayton Spriggs…………. evidently your an IDIOT too. Obama’s administration blames everything on Bush. Democrats are the ones in denial.
Who’s going to give or sell their water to California? It takes years to build a pipeline, if you get it approved. There is no water in the Colorado River and Oregon went through that arguement 40 years ago. Their $#%&!@*ed.
